N | Investment project title | Introduction of healing and prophylaxis activities aimed at fighting lung nematodoses of sheep and goats in Armenia | |
1. | Sector | Ministry of agriculture: veterinary, animal husbandry, specifically sheep and goat breeding units (private farms and other types) |
|
2. | Project description | The Project is aimed at healing and prophylaxis activities for improving health of sheep and goat populations against lung parasitoses broadly distributed in the Republic and causing significant damage to its economy including the following: animal deaths, acute decrease in sheep and goats production, as well as decrease in meat and milk products quality. New highly effective and affordable preparations against above-mentioned helminthoses of sheep and goats are offered. Detailed schemes and dosages of drugs to fight lung protostrongylidoses (type of parasitoses) of small ruminants are offered for the first time. |

9. | Payback period | After 2 years when agricultural units and small ruminants in question will be free from lung nematodoses | |
10. | Annual profitability index | Taking into account treating of about 50.000 (fifty thousand) of sheep and goats with anthelminthic drugs the profits would reach about 25 millions of drams or about USD 50.000 | |
11. | Detailed costs | Buying of anthelminthic drugs for sheep and goats dehelmintization – about USD 20.000; |
